Fed: Mixed Messages
Two weeks ago, the Federal Reserve decided to hike rates again. This was no surprise.

Government Won’t Save You
In normal circumstances you don’t want to depend on the government because no one who relies exclusively on transfer payments (excluding people collecting public pensions) is living a comfortable successful financial life.
